By On-Site Magazine
JCB has added a new 2TS-7T Teleskid compact track loader to its range of Teleskid skid steers and compact track loaders.
The 2TS-7T comes equipped with telescopic booms and a small-platform skid steer chassis for maneuverability.
The Teleskid 2TS-7T is powered by a 74 hp (55 kW) JCB by Kohler engine which meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards with no need for diesel exhaust fluid and no diesel particulate filter or other exhaust aftertreatment. The 2TS-7T has a rated operating capacity of 2,096 lb (951 kg) with the boom retracted and 1,140 lb (517 kg) with the boom fully extended, and offers 20 per cent more breakout force than similarly sized machines. It has a maximum lift height of 11 feet 10 inches (3.6 m), a forward reach of 7 feet (2.1 m) and the ability to dig 2 feet (1 m) below grade.
Other notable features include: a large climate-controlled cab with canopy option; a standard hydraulic flow rate of 18.6 gpm with an optional high-flow rate of 29.4 gpm; an operating weight of 9,914 lb (4,497kg); a SAE/ISO standard quick hitch compatible with all skid steer and compact track loader attachments, with a single-point quick hitch lock-and-unlock indicator; and JCB’s Smoothride System for load retention and operator comfort.
JCB offers nine models of skid steer and compact track loaders in North America, including three Teleskid models. Other machines in JCB’s Teleskid range are the large-platform 3TS-8T compact track loader and 3TS-8W wheeled skid steer loader.
